Students at Big Rapids Middle School are celebrating Earth Day next month by cleaning up parks and other areas of the community.

 

BRMS Principal Josh Bull says on Friday, April 22^nd, students in grades 5-8 will be out in the community cleaning up parks and other areas.

 

Bull says this event really teaches kids the value of a clean community.

 

“For me, I love seeing our kids outside engaging and cleaning up our community.” Bull said “During last year’s Earth Day event, our kids did such a great job cleaning and were talking about how they couldn't believe people would just throw their masks on the ground and how they just couldn't believe how much stuff was out there and I felt like the students could see that they were making a difference.”

 

Over 600 students will cleaning 19 areas within Big Rapids.
